Pope Francis the Communist taught that the central purpose of life is to live for others. Since he saw servitude as a moral obligation, to serve mankind and not fulfill your own desires, it didn’t seem like a stretch for him to embrace Communism. Communism makes self-sacrifice an obligation for everyone, through the force of law–an obligation for all, except the elites in power and the connected, of course.
It’s little wonder the media adored Pope Francis. The leftist people who work in media are prepared to impose totalitarian slavery and obligation on everyone but themselves. It’s the most vicious, suicidal and unhealthy creed mankind could ever devise. Yet our cultural and governmental institutions have yet to shed it. America’s founders, the men of the Enlightment and Renaissance era that preceded them, came the closest. They inspired us to embrace freedom, for a time.
